Q1Read the Assertion and Reason based on the Hindi sentence "मुझे यह किताब पढ़े हुए दो साल हो गए हैं।" Assertion (A): The correct translation is: "It has been two years since I read this book." Reason (R): In such sentences, "हुए" marks time elapsed since a completed action, so English commonly uses "It has been + time + since + simple past tense."
The rule is that elapsed time since a completed action is expressed as "It has been + period of time + since + simple past tense". The cue "पढ़े हुए दो साल हो गए हैं" means two years have passed since the act of reading was completed. Therefore A is true, R is true, and R is the correct explanation of A.
Q2Select the grammatically incorrect English sentence. The intended meaning is: दरवाज़ा मेरे द्वारा खोला गया।
Rule: a passive sentence in the past needs be + past participle. Cue: मेरे द्वारा points to a passive construction with an agent, so the full passive form is 'was opened by me'. Option B omits the auxiliary 'was', leaving 'opened by me' as an incomplete passive phrase. The other options are grammatical sentences, so B is the only incorrect choice.
Q3Which option correctly translates the Hindi sentence into English? अध्यापक ने विद्यार्थियों से निबंध लिखवाया।
Rule: an active causative with 'make' takes object + bare infinitive. Cue: लिखवाया means that the teacher caused or required the students to write. Therefore, 'The teacher made the students write an essay' is the only correct choice. Option A wrongly uses 'to write', option C is an ungrammatical causative-passive structure, and option D changes the meaning by making the teacher the writer.
Q4Choose the option that correctly translates the Hindi sentence into English, preserving the present habitual meaning: वह रोज़ सुबह जल्दी उठता है।
Rule: a regular present habit is expressed in English with the simple present tense. Cue: रोज़ सुबह shows a daily present routine. Therefore, the third-person singular subject takes 'gets up', making 'He gets up early every morning' the only correct choice. The continuous, past, and present perfect options all change the tense or aspect.
Q5Read the Assertion (A) and Reason (R) based on the Hindi sentence: तुम्हें यहाँ धूम्रपान नहीं करना चाहिए। Assertion (A): The correct English translation is 'You should not smoke here.' Reason (R): In this sentence, चाहिए expresses advice or prohibition, and English uses 'should' with the base verb.
Rule: 'should' expresses advice or prohibition and is followed by the base form of the verb. Cue: तुम्हें...नहीं करना चाहिए addresses the listener and says that the action should not be done here. Therefore, 'You should not smoke here' is correct, and the reason correctly explains the assertion. Thus, A is the only correct option.
